PCF has found that it has been necessary to provide a daily hot meal for most weeks of the year to its school children. Many of the children have stopped working to come to PCF's schools and often the only hot meal they will receive each day is in school. Breakfast and lunch are served daily during school time, and for the most malnourished school students an additional meal is provided when funding is available. Our menus have been designed to include a high protein diet and fresh vegetables and fruit are provided as a natural source of vital vitamins and minerals. Children who are suffering from vitamin deficiency are given vitamin supplements and Vitamin A as standard. Our focus is to teach and cultivate healthy eating habits. PCF provides a well equipped medical clinic in the dumpsite school and the cemetery school. In each of these our nurses run free medical clinics every day for our school children, parents, and the community. Doctors work on a pro-bono basis, and funds are always needed to enable PCF to provide medicines and in some cases operations and hospitalisation.
